2017考研英语热点预测：科技创新迷失方向
这是一篇非常深刻的文章，大家好好读一下：
Solving All the Wrong Problems
科技创新迷失了方向，去解决那些错误的问题!
Every day, innovative companies promise to make the world a better place. Are they succeeding?
每一天，那些创新公司都在承诺着要让世界变得更美好。他们做到了吗?
Here is just a sampling of the products, apps and services that have come across my radar in the last few weeks:
下面是几个产品、手机应用和服务的例子，都是最近几个星期我注意到的。
A service that sends someone to fill your car with gas.
让别人来帮你加满油的服务。
A service that sends a valet on a scooter to you, wherever you are, to park your
car.
在任何地方叫代泊车服务员踩着滑板车来帮你停车的服务。
A service that will film anything you desire with a drone.
用无人机帮你为任何东西摄像的服务。
A service that will pack your suitcase — virtually.
帮你收拾行李的服务——虚拟的。
A service that delivers a new toothbrush head to your mailbox every three months.
每三个月把新的.牙刷头寄到你邮箱里的服务。
A service that delivers your beer right to your door.
送啤酒上门的服务。
When everything is characterized as “world-changing,” is anything?
当一切都被打上“改变世界”的标签，到底有什么东西真能正改变世界?
If the most fundamental definition of design is to solve problems, why are so many people devoting so much energy to solving problems that don’t really exist? How can we get more people to look beyond their own lived experience?
如果设计的最基本定义是用来解决问题，为什么那么多人投入那么多精力，去解决根本不存在的问题?我们该怎样让更多人看到超越自身生活体验之外的东西?
今天的句子：
Empathy, humility, compassion, conscience: These are the key ingredients missing in the pursuit of innovation, Ms. Helfand argues, and in her book she explores design, and by extension innovation, as an intrinsically human discipline — albeit one that seems to have lost its way. Ms. Helfand argues that innovation is now
predicated less on creating and more on the undoing of the work of others.
In this way, innovation is very much mirroring the larger public discourse: a distrust of institutions combined with unabashed confidence in one’s own judgment shifts solutions away from fixing, repairing or improving and shoves them toward destruction for its own sake. (Sound like a certain presidential candidate?
Or Brexit?)
昨天题目的解析：
1. Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite, so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite.
参考译文:记者通常是广义定义的社会和文化精英的一部分，所以他们的工作通常会反应这些精英的传统价值观。
2.The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and their
readers.
对于新闻媒体惊人的不信任，其根源不在于不准确报道和蹩脚的报道技巧，而在于记者和其读者之间世界观的冲突。
The basic problem of journalists as pointed out by the writer lies in their ________.
题干中的basic problem 替换rooted in 定位到第二句：
[A] working attitude
工作态度
[B] conventional lifestyle
传统的生活方式
[C] world outlook
World outlook替换world views 完美的替换!为正确答案!
[D] educational background
教育背景!
这个题目简单还是因为我把线索句给同学找出来了，所以做题一定要精确定位!
